Happy Paczki Day!!!

This is a friend of mine from high school, who owns a donut shop in Dearborn, with a bunch of his freshly made paczkis this morning! Mmmmm...


Mark Porada took over as owner of Donutville USA on Ford Road in Dearborn 11 years ago after his father, Al, retired.

It's basically a deep fried jelly donut..a polish tradition on Fat Tuesday. They come in a variety of choices for the filling. We got some cream filled ones. I haven't had one yet, tho. The link is to a very short article. I read somewhere that it started when they wanted to get rid of their sugar, lard, etc. before lent started. I do think it's more of a northern thing.

RecknHavic said...

Yes, words that end in "zki" tend to lean toward northern things.

They sound really good, tho the "I haven't had one yet" part makes no sense; i'da hada about a half dozen by now if they were in my position.

Reck said...

our picks:
Reck: Redemption- Matt
Rew- Zap
Imm- Omep
Out- Stephanie
S: Redemption- Matt
Rew- Omep
Imm- Omep
Out- Stephanie

Linda said...

Totals:
R:31+ 5 for Rob's idol =36
S:13
D:26
L:31

Here's the deal, tho. Apparently, they're not doing rew and imm. separately anymore. So from now on I guess we'll choose one tribe to win both, and and person who wins the redemption island contest. Nice pull out ahead tonight, Reck!

Cr*p, hadn't watched it yet as i got home late and just read your "nice" comment about Rob. Guessin he's got an idol :)

Linda said...

Ooops. I'm sorry!!

Linda said...

Oh and you know what else? I never posted OUR picks! Here's what they were..haha:
D: Omet rew, Zap imm, Rob out Matt wins

L: Zap, Omet, Steph out, Russell wins

RecknHavic said...

Ok, watched it. Poor Russel, he will be missed.

Yeah, nextb time we wanta post OUR pics after the show ;)

Linda said...

Ha..I know, that was really smooth. Of course, I'm the only loser that thought Russell would beat Matt!

RecknHavic said...

I almost picked him too. Luckily my cheat site advised me differently!

Do they play polka @ paczki parties?

Linda said...

Oh you betcha..I'm sure they do! :)

RecknHavic said...

How do you pronounce that word again?

Linda said...

I've heard it 2 ways.."poonch-key" and "punch-key", with the emphasis on the first syllable.
